What is Title Insurance?

You probably have several forms of insurance already. And you undoubtedly are familiar with insurance coverage on cars, your life and medial bills. But title insurance?

When you buy a condominium, home, any other type of building or even undeveloped land, you must have a complete investigation made on every aspect of the property. Or, you may discover that the property you bought and paid for is not actually yours at all!

And even after the investigation, you will need protection in the event that some point has been missed in the public records or someone makes a claim on the title to your property. That protection is a title insurance policy from Cherokee Title Company.
